Honey

(专辑： The Romantic World Of Eddy Arnold - 1968)

See the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it
Was just a twig
And then the first snow came and she
Ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself and
I laughed till I cried

She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve
Two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from working late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been a crying
Over some sad and silly late late show

And, honey, I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

She wrecked the car and she was sad
So afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
Caught her crying needlessly
In the middle of the day
Then it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away

And, honey, I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

Yes one day while I was not at home
When she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories
Of honey and I wake up nights
And call her name
And now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived and honey played
And love grew up
A small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
That honey loved
Yes see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it
Was just a twig

And, honey, I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
